Bick and Beck Kidd have a lot to live up to, considering
that their dad is Tom Kidd, the infamous treasure hunter. The Kidd kids, Storm,
Beck, Bick, and Tommy, are all distraught after a storm, because their dad is nowhere
to be found. The only evidence of him being in the storm was a lone life
preserver, rolling into the sea. They all know that they should be considered
orphans, because they lost their mom in Cyprus after a scandal. Storm reveals
that she knows how to get into “The Room,” the only place on their ship, The
Lost, which they are forbidden to enter. Even if they tried to enter “The Room,”
they would be unsuccessful, because it is the most secure room in the entire
ship. Storm gives Bick and Beck the key, and they enter. They find a to-do list
on their father’s desk, a list of lost artifacts that they should find. They
decide to go after King Philip III of Spain’s long-lost galleon. Once they find
the galleon and cash it in however, their Uncle Timothy arrives, claiming that
he is their guardian. They battle with a lot of pirates, and they want to know
what is really happening. The Kidds inject a truth serum into Uncle Timothy,
and find out what really happened. Read the book to find out the surprising truth!
